Impact Report Livestock Projects Youth involved in livestock projects learn subject matter concepts and develop life skills through participation in livestock schools, camps, and competitive events. 249 youth from three states participated in the Roy Vaughn Livestock School. 15% of these youth were directly impacted by involvement with steer school. These youth are better equipped to make an impact in their lives with greater awareness and knowledge of beef cattle and the understanding of how hard work influences the bottom line. At the county level youth livestock projects are an extremely large part of the program. 4-H members are assisted throughout the year in order to develop the skills necessary to improve and enhance the skills and abilities needed to be successful with their projects. Through participation in livestock activities youth are shown to be better students, more active in their schools, and communities, and have fewer disciplinary problems. Livestock projects consist of over 75% of our enrollment numbers.
